Journalist Alex Berenson on FDA Failure to Report Death of Young Child in Moderna Trials

Berenson said that when he approached the FDA with questions about the child’s death, the agency was evasive.

“FDA didn’t really want to answer my questions about this initially … and I followed up with them and I hammered them,” Berenson said. “They continued to stonewall me, but they did essentially give me a second statement [where] they don’t deny that there was a death in the trial or that they know about it.”

According to Berenson, the FDA told him it is not allowed to disclose deaths during the pre-approval process for a drug.

“That’s a very interesting way to frame this, considering that the FDA and everybody else have been saying these drugs are safe and effective,” Berenson said. He added that Moderna and Dr. C. Buddy Creech, a Vanderbilt University professor who was a lead investigator on the KidCOVE trial, have not responded to requests for comment.

Berenson said the FDA may soon have to provide public answers about the clinical trial. Berenson said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has disclosed that he will subpoena the FDA for information on the KidCOVE trial and the child’s death.

Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, said Moderna disclosed the death only to European regulators. The FDA, which likely learned of the child’s death later but never publicly shared the information, has provided only vague responses to Berenson’s inquiries about the death.

⚠️ Glyphosate Weedkiller Linked to Premature Births, Low Birth Weights

A 2017 study found that Americans’ exposure to glyphosate grew by about 500% since Roundup Ready GM crops were introduced in the U.S. in 1996, and there has been widespread detection of glyphosate in human urine and blood, including in pregnant women.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, has significantly harmed the health of babies in rural U.S. communities over the last two decades — especially those already at risk of poor birth outcomes, new research shows.

🚨 ‘Every Story Matters’: UK COVID Inquiry Collects Stories From Vaccine-Injured

One woman described the severe migraines, convulsions and weakness she suffered following the jab. “There was no support there when anything went wrong,” she said.

Another woman recounted the constant dizziness and passing out she experienced following the booster shot. Eventually, doctors found a blood clot. When she suggested it was linked to the vaccine, they said they had never heard of such a thing, and that she was imagining it.

A third woman developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which began like chickenpox before her skin started to fall off. She received no financial support for her treatment and was encouraged to get the booster. Following the booster, she began having seizures, but no doctors connected her conditions to the vaccine. She went on to receive another booster.

“I’m now so ill I can’t see me living long enough to fully recover,” she said.

🚨 Pharma Spends Billions on Drug Ads, Fears Trump Administration Will Try to Ban Them

Critics say the ads “misinform patients and underemphasize treatment risks,” in part because they don’t provide all the information a patient needs to make an informed decision.

The ads also lead to unnecessary drug prescriptions, which The Lever said raises healthcare costs for consumers and taxpayers.

Drugmakers said a ban would “almost certainly” lead to a drop in drug sales, according to a recent report by industry research firm Intron Health, which claims the return on investment for drug ads is as high as 100%-500%, depending on the drug.
